Google Maps users in India now get motorcyle mode

The new feature seems to be launched in India first. Turn-by-turn directions and voice-prompts are here, as well as offline maps and landmark-based navigation.

The map shows the most optimal route for two-wheeler drives, in which, the travel time and routes can be different depending upon the real time congestion on the roads. Google will eventually sort out all the issues, and in the meantime, try out the new "Two Wheeler Mode" for yourself. The suggested routes are optimized for motorcycles and rely on reports from other riders.

So far, the Two-wheeler mode or "Motorcycle Mode" feature is only live in India, as it has been reportedly working for some already. Similar to that in cars, the two-wheeler mode too comes with voice assist in navigation but at the same time shows an even more convenient mode compared to that of the vehicle.

If you're in India and want to try out the new two-wheeler mode, hit the button below and update your app.
